Vertical mirror, solid color draperies, off-set decoration on the chest top... but it is so monotone! I might be tempted to repaint the walls darker so the chest would stand out more.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-41755171800191054922010-08-18T19:27:00.624-07:002010-08-18T19:27:00.624-07:00We think alike.

That being said, I do find that over time I am able to part with some things and others, I seem to hold closer to my heart.

Do we surround ourselves with things we love because of the memories they evoke, or do we go with the trends. I can't disagree with the post on the issue of simplicity, but we must consider that real people occupy the space in question and perhaps those things however "busy" they may be have some important meaning not just junk bought at a consignment shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-30909693290100436462010-07-27T11:32:04.541-07:002010-07-27T11:32:04.541-07:00I think you need to know the person that lives her...I think you need to know the person that lives here (the last photo) If the person is a free spirit I think they should keep it the way that's right for them.

By simplifying, as you have suggested, I think the mirror needs to be lighten to white, gray or something more subtle. It is the only dark in this vignette, and once you edit, the black frame provides just too much contrast to the sensitive mix. My thought on "Less is More" is that by editing, you have to be more selective about what is left. Any old thing won't just work in the mix, anymore. It's more like a trio or a quartet than a whole choir, and every voice matters more.Terry Browder, www.saylesranch.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585908270831866212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-85895232381269794612010-07-25T17:33:37.502-07:002010-07-25T17:33:37.502-07:00You are so right, but to get it right and simple i...You are so right, but to get it right and simple is an art.
